Thanks Tony and John. I did Google it, and it was the Estate. I had come across an early Estate initially, and I know it wasn't that, but I had missed the newer one. Sorry to bomb the list multiple t

It sounds like a Triumph 2500 estate and if it was navy blue it was probably a car I bought in Maine and brought to Florida. I sold it to a friend who had it until he moved to Texas and he sold it to

Hi all; Perhaps someone can settle an argument between my son and I? When charging a car battery, I was always told to disconnect the battery terminals first, then connect the charger. My son, who is

Tim, I am probably closer to your age, I never disconnect the battery terminals unless I am trying to do some isolation testing. But just to charge the battery or hook-up a float charger for the wint

I'm also in the camp of not disconnecting the battery cables. Some manuals say when jumping/charging to ground to the engine/body and with only the positive connected to the battery and I tend to do

My opinion, there was a period in history where that was a good idea. Now, unless you are working on a car with early solid-state electronics (or an early alternator) and using a poorly regulated ba

If your battery charger is of the type that tapers the charge rate as the battery reaches full charge, which most do, I see no problem with charging the battery in place. After all, that's what the g

I started "fiddling" with cars about 1946. I never have disconnect the battery to put a charger on it. One time, however, I regretted that method. I had the charger turned up for starting and put too

If we're talking about modern cars, I'd agree there's probably no need to isolate the battery for re-charging. But with older LBC's with (relatively) low output alternators and with perhaps not the s
